How adorable. I'm glad it worked out the 2nd time, how nice of you to do a doggie vacation.
Years ago when I was just out of HS and lived at home I would take my dog to any hotel that would allow him ( he was a large Collie) In the winter , most if the beach hotels would allow pets and were dirt cheap.
The pic of the doggie by the slots is priceless.
I have a French Bulldog story.
One of our customers has one and she was walking it one day and a little girl was nearby. The dog barked at something and the little girl said, "mommy, that pig just just barked".
